Cheyenne Trask, Director
Hello, my name is Cheyenne Trask! I am a sophomore at Cony High School. I enjoy learning science and anything related to people, and I hope to go into the medical or mental health field. I volunteer through Cony’s Key Club. Through this, I volunteered at the Save Your Breath 5k in 2024, as well as other community events. I am also a volunteer for the Care Crafts Project, through which I have sent over 175 cards and bracelets to hospital patients. I am excited to become a member of the board so that I can meet and help others while learning about lung cancer.
